Krimh
Krimhera
(Self-Released)
FFO: Decapitated, Rivers of Nihil, Ulcerate
Listen: Destroy, Erase, Create
The Ex-Decapitated Drummer and Multi-instrumentalist, known
to the world as Krimh, has dropped a shiny new bombshell of technical metal wizardry
in this latest release. Krimhera is a great mix of technicality, brutality and
progression. A must for anyone who likes their metal fast and tight. If I were
Slipknot right now, I’d be kicking myself for not allowing this unfairly
talented man into the band.
White Arms of Athena
White Arms of Athena
(Prosthetic Records)
FFO: Botch, Thrice, Cave In
Listen: Heavy Sleep
Not content with being the best version of Between The
Buried and Me that doesn't contain Tommy Giles Rogers, White Arms of Athena
have taken a massive leap in a new direction on their sophomore, self-titled,
release. Now sounding more akin to Thrice meets ambient noodling, White Arms…
have released perhaps one of the most off-kilter -core releases of the year.
Whilst it might not make you want to flail around your bedroom filled with only
the purest teen angst, it will make you ponder: “What the hell is going on? And why do I like it so much?”
Centinex
Redeeming Filth
(Agonia Records)
FFO: Entombed, Massacre, Obituary
Listen: Moist Purple Skin
Old School Death Metal is immortal and Centinex are a
testament to that fact. The riffing on this album is pure 90’s Floridian
throwback that is well enough executed to make you yearn for those glory days. It
is however the vocals that really make this album. The tortured, bestial growls
of Alex Hogbom will make even your favourite modern Death Metal vocalists seem
tame in comparison.
